She huffed slightly, "For what it's worth, I think he's starting to soften up."
"Maybe, or maybe he knew we'd do this anyway." She agreed, ears perking as they spotted the crowd of bandits surrounding their fellow women. "Shall we?"
"Lets!" She nodded.
"There's too many of them!" Sango exclaimed as she counted their numbers paled considerably to the larger number of bandits surrounding their group. A wall of blue fire surrounded them then, surprising the bandits on the outside, as both sisters landed expertly with them.
"Getsu-chan!"
"Kori-chan!"
"A little birdy told us you lot needed help." The younger she-wolf declared as she nocked two arrows in her bow.
The older she-wolf flexed her claws, smirking playfully as the wall diminished to mere embers, "Who're we to not stick a foot in these fools' asses?"
"Hey boss, what about these two? They're really pretty…!" One of the bandits called to his leader before shock spilled on his face as one of her arrows hit and he fell back.
"I think they like us, don't you, Onee-chan?" Korihime chuckled.
Getsu's smirk faltered when the bandits' leader, an effeminate moth demon wearing a maroon coat, stood to regard them with a hungry look… She automatically loathed the way he looked at them. "Kori, stay near Kagome." Where was InuYasha? That half-breed wouldn't leave his pack defenseless, she knew that well enough…
"He wasn't wrong! You two are, in fact, beautiful creatures. Even with that scary look on your face. I am Gatenmaru, the leader of these bandits, and it would be my pleasure to know your names before I kill you." The effeminate demon drawled as he eyed one down and then up before doing the same to the other.
Hopping away from her companions' side, a burst of blue flames screamed at where he stood before he had dodged it, and she landed nimbly. "Getsu, Head of the Western Wolf Clan… You think you can kill me? You couldn't hope to even make me bow in a thousand years!" She swung her left arm at him and sent a fire wave barreling for the lesser demon.
"Boss!" One of the other bandits exclaimed in shock.
A solid 'whack' sounded when her bow crashed onto his head, blue eyes hard as the younger she-wolf purred, "You pack of thugs wanted to play with me, didn't you? Come on!"
Getsu hopped out of the way as the moth spat an acidic ball of web at her, and she growled, "That explains the urge I had to crush you like the insect that you are!" She thrust her fist out and sent a vicious flamethrower at him, perking up when he sliced through it with the hatchet he wielded.
"I will take special pleasure in devouring you, my Lady!" Gatenmaru swung out at her with the hatchet. He perked up when she hopped onto the large blade and sprang into the air, shattering the blade with her momentum, to which he blanched at. "H-how dare you!?" He yowled as he shot a wide webbing at her.
Her left fist crashed into his nose before she bounced off to land behind him on expert feet. She huffed and bounced her weight from one foot to the other as he snarled an oath and turned on her with murder in his eyes, to which she smiled sweetly, "Seems you're regretting everything since the moment you saw me, leech." She then twisted on one heel to send her free foot crashing into his chest guard and send him skidding back onto the dry ground.
Korihime froze the bandit that had slashed at her with his sword and nicked her left arm, hissing between her teeth as she gripped her arm gingerly and looked at the crimson that wept from the small cut. "Bastards…" She perked her ears as another bandit that Sango hadn't caught flew at her, to which she smacked him away with her bow.
"Kori-chan!" Kagome exclaimed before she froze when sensing a familiar half-breed's aura coming from the large cocoon nearby.

Kagome ran to him with the Tetsusaiga in hand, "Return to your old self, InuYasha!"
"Oh for the love of…" Korihime groaned before she shortly followed her.
Getsu perked up, "Kori, don't!"
A dark laugh came from the half-breed turned bloodthirsty beast before the breath caught in his throat as she delivered a sharp kick to his chest and he fell back.
"Kori-chan!" Shippo said in surprise.
"If he won't listen to reason, then force is the best bet! You three, leave here while you can. Go before I change my mind!" Korihime declared to the three remaining bandits, watching them snap to and scramble away to what horses remained to leave the village. She dodged the half-breed's sharp swipe for her throat at the last second and growled at him. "You're a little more accurate when you throw caution to the wind… Still, I hate this look on your face, so snap out of it you idiot mutt!" She slashed at him with her own claws only to miss as he skirted out of the way, and she twisted to send her other foot careening into his chest again when he made to attack from her blind side and inadvertently knock him away. "Enough, InuYasha!" I don't want to kill you.
Gathering himself with a snarl of anger, InuYasha made to attack again when another scent assailed his nose, and he turned to face the dog demon who had arrived.
"Sesshomaru…" Getsu sighed slightly as she was actually glad he was present.
"Back away from him, Kori." Sesshomaru ordered, watching the younger she-wolf glance at him before she nodded and retreated to her sister's side, regarding the carnage as he looked at the snarling hanyou and huffing. "You're nothing more than a bloodthirsty beast. Come at me, InuYasha, with your new power." He smirked wryly.
Korihime growled slightly when the hanyou was repelled by Tokijin and smacked it away with a fist, "You fool… Onee-chan, with all we heard from Bokuseno-san, you don't think he'll kill him today… Do you?" She asked as she looked at her sister.
Getsu shook her head, "I can't say for sure…" She perked up when InuYasha flew at Sesshomaru one last time before the latter extended Tokijin and repelled him with a white light that nearly blinded them all, "InuYasha!"
InuYasha fell back and hit the ground unconscious, much to the sisters' relief.
"InuYasha!" Kagome exclaimed as she and the others ran to his side, protecting him as his brother came forward, yet she was surprised to see Korihime had also come as she stood protectively infront of their odd pack. "K-Kori-chan…"
"If you want to stop his transformation, use the Tetsusaiga, otherwise he'll go on fighting like this." Sesshomaru declared, looking to the protective she-wolf and quelling the surprise from showing on his face at seeing the determined look on her face that so resembled her sister's. "Choose where you belong, Korihime… neither of us can decide for you." He said.
So he wanted to stop him from continuing as a mindless beast… Korihime faltered slightly and was surprised he sounded patient with her, before she looked at the humans plus the hanyou and then nodded her head, stepping away from them to rejoin her sister.
"We know you despise InuYasha, so why did you tell us this?" Miroku demanded behind her as he looked on the older dog demon.
Sesshomaru glanced past him at his brother, "I won't kill him today, and why would I when he doesn't know who he is?" He replied, turning away to leave with his fiancé who looked back at the humans with a slight smile before continuing on her way, the younger she-wolf at their heels.
o0o
Rin beamed and nodded when being asked if she had had a good day, "Yes, milord!"
Getsu raised a brow, "Maybe Kori was right…" At his glance, she added thoughtfully, "about you going soft after all these years… Doing what you did for your brother and then now, anyway."
"I am not going soft." Sesshomaru scoffed even as his brow twitched, scowling at the playful hint in her eye and adding, "Don't make that face."
"Kori-onee, you okay? You've been awfully quiet, and your arm!" Rin asked of the younger she-wolf before gesturing to her arm.
Korihime slightly shook her head before smiling, "Yeah I'm okay… It's just a scratch, it'll heal up quick! It has to anyway, if I gotta be here for you, Rin." She then started tickling her and made the girl laugh.
Getsu smiled softly at the two and caught the thoughtful look that crossed his handsome face, before she leaned up to peck his cheek. "Softie." She teased, smiling cheekily when he sported a sideways look.
